Onn needs a Google account. Fire stick requires an Amazon account. Apple tv, obviously an Apple account. PS5, Xbox all the same.

Is there a box that will let me stream Hulu, Netflix, Spotify, my own stored media?

Osmc is great for home stuff, but can’t do Hulu Netflix.

I could use a Linux PC, but not as simple as 1 remote for a cheaper box top.

Any suggestions? Or do I just get a Linux host

    I’m pretty sure you can install KDE Connect on GNOME, but it doesn’t have full functionality. Sending keystrokes and mouse input should be fine though.

      I’ll look into it thanks. I ran the apt command on Debian and was intimidated by how many dependencies were required. Might try it on a test machine first.

        Yeah when you install one KDE component it tries to install the entire DE by default as “recommended” dependencies. There’s a flag for apt that tells it to only install necessary dependencies and not also the optional recommended ones.
